I have to use a particular web site for work, but this web site checks to see whether I'm using Internet Explorer and, if not, won't allow me to log in. I can switch my User-Agent header using the User Agent Switcher Firefox plugin and the web site works fine, but I really don't want to switch the header every time I go to the site and also don't want my User-Agent header to perpetually say I'm using IE.
I'm on Linux, so actually switching to IE unfortunately isn't an option.
Is there any way to define a particular User-Agent for a particular web site in either Firefox or Chrome?
